Learning place cells and remapping by decoding the cognitive map Border cells are sufficient to generate place cells and remapping during path integration in artificial neural networks, challenging the role of grid cells for spatial navigation.

New research in eLife challenges some long-held ideas about place cells and grid cells and suggests a powerful border-to-place cell pathway for navigation.
